 [Well, he got over that whole being dead thing fast. Must be a thing with Wreckers.  The feed shows Wheeljack at a distance, sizing up an empty area of the Haven, doing perimeters, measuring, you name it.  It might be better not to ask, but do you really want to take that chance? Best to just get it over with.  Wheeljack seems to realize the feed is on, which is understandable, putting his hands to his hips as he looks back at the empty plot.]

So. We've all been here how long...and no one's thought to build a ship?

[He puts his fingers in the picture-frame position, scratching his helm.]

Figure I'd try and remake my own ship, the Jackhammer. See what it's like up by the Lambda. 

"It...was a good idea, Wheeljack"

[That voice was not his own, but seemed to come from the vicinity. It makes the Wrecker perk up considerably, though.]

I thought so too.

...

Any of you got some free time?

And Solus, if ya've got a minute...

Not this second. That's a bit last minute.

But I expect ya to at least get a day off.

VIDEO;

[thehardway]

That is unlikely to happen, through no cruelty of anyone else; it is my choice to work as it is needed.

...Suit yourself, Magnus.



Can't stop ya, can I.

VIDEO;

[thehardway]

There are only two individuals with the power that can.

You. ... Are concerned.

VIDEO;

[wheeljackofalltrades]

And lemme guess, they're not here to tell ya.



Me? Course not.

[No not personal territory he was doing JUST fine when this was all about you, Magnus.]

VIDEO;

[thehardway]

I am not going to tell you that. [Because you'll probably take advantage of it if he tells you.]

My mistake.

VIDEO;

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Not even a hint?

[Yes, yes he will.]


Yeah, I know you can handle yourself. A little too well.

VIDEO;

[thehardway]

It's a bad idea if I do.

Then you shouldn't have to consider whether or not I take a day off.

VIDEO;

[wheeljackofalltrades]

The 'too well' is what gets ya, Magnus.


Even jets stop once in awhile.

VIDEO;

[thehardway]

Jets are too fast. Hasty. Impatient.

My work is steady and needed. Especially in this place, where stability should be a comfort for others. Not unreachable and lost.

I'm startin' to get the feelin' you don't even know what fun is, Sparky.

VIDEO;

[thehardway]

...I've read the definition in the dictionary a few times.

VIDEO;

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Did it hurt?

VIDEO;

[thehardway]

No. That's silly.

VIDEO;

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Alright then. Say it.

[thehardway]

...Fff.

[thehardway]

Ffffuuuh...

[thehardway]

Ff. Fffuuundamentals.

...

[He laughs. Hard.]

P..Points for tryin', sparky. Points for tryin'.

VIDEO;

[thehardway]

You're amused.

[BASIC STATEMENTS WITH MAGNUS.]

VIDEO;

[wheeljackofalltrades]

You bet I am.

[He's practically grinning ear to metaphorical ear.]

You're not?

VIDEO;

[thehardway]

...No?

VIDEO;

[wheeljackofalltrades]

Sorry Chief, it's just charmin'.

[He gives another chuckle.]

Honestly say you blow Ratchet out of the water with your formality.

VIDEO;

[thehardway]

No one has ever indicated that my behavior is particularly charming. You are an odd individual.

I never spoke to your Ratchet. Is he much similar to me?

VIDEO;

[wheeljackofalltrades]

[He holds two fingers close to each other up to the screen.]

Wee bit. Think of a less extreme you.
